Smith ran his record to 7-0 in starts against the Rampage in the Milwaukee Admirals 3-1 win over San Antonio on Saturday night in front of 8,881 fans at the AT&T Center.

Milwaukee has won all three matchups between the two clubs this season — all by 3-1 scores and all featuring an empty-net goal.

“I don't think it's just a goalie thing, it's definitely a team-thing,” said Smith of his dominance of the Rampage. “We come ready to play every time we play these guys. We know how dangerous they are in the offensive zone.”
